1/3

cup

chopped fresh coriander

1

tsp

kaffir lime leaves; finely chopped

1

fresh red chilli; deseeded, finely chopped

600

g

green prawns

9

stems

lemon grass

1

fresh red chilli; halved, deseeded, thinly sliced, extra

1

bunch

fresh mint; leaves picked, washed, dried

3

Lebanese cucumbers; halved lengthways, thinly sliced crossways

1 ½

cups

bean sprouts; trimmed

¼

cup

fresh lime juice

¼

cup

brown sugar; firmly packed

2

tsp

fish sauce

1

Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Place the coriander, lime leaves and chilli in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add prawn meat and process until the mixture just comes together.

2

Cut the lemon grass stems in half crossways to make 18 skewers. Use wet hands to shape 1 heaped tablespoonful of prawn mixture around 1 lemon grass skewer to form a 7cm-long sausage. Place on the lined tray. Repeat with the remaining prawn mixture and lemon grass skewers. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

3

Meanwhile, combine the extra chilli, mint, cucumber and bean sprouts in a bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, brown sugar and fish sauce in a jug.

4

Preheat a barbecue flatplate or large frying pan on medium-high. Spray the prawn skewers with olive oil spray. Cook, carefully turning with an egg lifter occasionally, for 5-8 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

5

Pour the dressing over the salad. Divide the skewers among serving plates and serve with the salad.

Tips

Freezing tip: At the end of step 2, place the prepared tray, covered, in the freezer until the prawn mixture is frozen. Transfer the skewers to an airtight container and freeze for up to two months. Thaw, in a single layer, in the fridge overnight. Continue from step 3.
